I'm almost 30. Im 'an adult'.
So why the frick can't I leave candles alone?
I'm like a bloody moth to a flame, can't stop poking and messing at them until they spill over and drip wax everywhere.
The mantlepiece is destroyed. The rug is destroyed.
And I'm an idiot.

82 wasn't a good year for Sauvignon, try 83.

Candles are amazing to play with!!

But so burn-y

Mrs Garth Brooks

I like candles too. Scented candles. Lavender and vanilla flavour are my favourites. Mmm

I do this when i'm very bored. I don't know why.

Don't wish to "wax" philosophical about your condition mate but people like you get on my wick! :P

Reminds of the time I was in a friends house and we were all heading to bed so I says I'll put the candles out. They were the big fancy wide diameter types, I just bent down and blew really hard and it went everywhere. Spent about an hour trying to clean the wax out of all the little nooks and crannys.











I just read what I wrote and it could very easily be taken out of context

I used to do this all the time. Also melted biros and when the burning drips of plastic would fall off they made a 'whoosh' noise. I still have a scar on one of my fingers where a bit landed on me and tried to burn through my hand.

But then I grew up

Yeah....I can't explain it either. I'm normally neurotically neat and tidy, but let me into a room with a candle and I'll destroy the place in ten mins flat.

Candles on the table in a pub. Great fun until I accidentally put it out

One time a waitress came over and lit it again, best day ever

"Candle" and "wax" are euphemisms?

Im obsessed with candles and have a foot and a half tall one here that cost 15 quid.The wick stopped lighting after 2 days so out comes the hammer and screwdriver (also how i wrecked my fridge but thats a different story) and hacked the bejaysus out of it till i got it goin again.Wax literally everywhere!Only did it there on Monday.

Addicted to tealights too Nothin better listening to the rain outside with loads of candles goin curled up on the couch.

Princess Peach

I have now lit some candles in my room. Seems cosier!

smk89

Theres no such thing as an adult, just a tall child.

I still play with blu tac when I find it. Until it reaches that point after 2-3 hours when it starts melting, took an hour to get off my shoes

i changed because i needed to,

it took me years of counseling to get over my addiction, i could go into detail but alas it would tease me closer to temptation!

Yup. Bloody temptation is everywhere. I can't go into penneys.....they have those cheap tealights I think it's 100 for a fiver

ScumLord

I still like to stick my fingers in hot candle wax to make casts of my fingers. The need to do it and see the impressions in the wax over rides the fear of pain every time.

Princess Peach

I've always wanted to reenact that candle scene from that Ricky Martin video.

Someday...

I do this, except the surly bar man in the Sub Lounge comes over and mutters something about being a fire hazard...pfft!

I love rubber bands.

Love them. They're ****ing mighty yokes altogether.

I could probably help you out with that, though I'd prefer the candle scene from Body of Evidence.

Go to church. Lots of candles there you can mess with, and you won't have to clean it up after. Sure they got nothing else to do.

I was wondering why everyone went there, its makes so much sense now.

Am I right in guessing that you are an altarboy?
A mature (immature) altarboy.

I'm a fcuker for messing with candles. I love them. I even melt down all the bit's that are left over rather than waste them, stick a new wick in and off we go again. Recently however I came a cropper, while moving a pot with melted wax approx half a litre I spilled it all over myself and fcuk me the pain was unreal. I still fcuk around with them though and do you know why ? cause I'm a thick cnut. :D:D

A few years ago, the mates and me began to play with this candle that we had on top of a bottle. We'd buy lots of new colour candles just to add more and more wax. In the end, the structure, as we called it, was about a foot and a half tall and god knows how many kilos in weight.

Don't know where it is now.

For some people candle play is a fetish, be it pouring the wax on themselves or on others.

Me and a mate did something similar with an Erdinger glass. Covered the outside of it in many different coloured candles.

The pimp cup, or the goblet.

So did anyone else drip candle wax onto their palm before? not in a sexual way, just used to like doing it.

Duggy747

I too share this affliction for playing with candles. If I'm left long enough with one I'll start covering all my fingers with as much wax as possible until half my hands are coated

Kimono-Girl

so am i the only one who found a cure then? it seems this effects more then i thought *idea*

Myyra

I used to pour hot wax on cartoons in the newspaper, then wait patiently for few minutes, peel off the wax...and I'd have a mirror image of the cartoon!
Utterly and completely useless bit of wax, but oh so much fun! (might light few candles now..)

My friend is in college in Carlow and he house shares with 4 girls and one chap. The girls started to take over the house and make it all girly with pictures and what not. Then they took the biscuit when one of them bought a big candle for the dinner table.

When I was down visiting we took it and my friend slowly carved it in to a penis. We then took the left over wax, melted it down, and put a set of balls on it to hold it upright.

I'll get him to send me a pic and I'll throw it up tomorrow.

When men get soft & grow love handles
their ladies will invest in candles
unless, that is, they have the habit
of doing it with a Wampant Wabbit.

Should have lit it a tad more, let some more wax drip off the tip!
